Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an improved car-washing portal, in particular for optimizing its use in winter time and/or when very low temperatures are present.
  • car-washing portals are devices equipped with a plurality of brushes that, through one or more passes, take care of washing and possibly also of drying, a motor vehicle placed on a suitable washing yard. Therefore, differently from the washing tunnel in which the motor vehicle is transported through suitable racks through the different fixed washing stations in the washing portal it is the motor vehicle that remains fixed while it is the portal itself that translates over the motor vehicle.
  • JP-A-2007008204 (which corresponds to the preamble of claim 1) discloses a car washing machine with opening and closing elements; JP-A-2003025975 discloses means for heating car washing brushes.
  • object of the present invention is solving the above prior art problems by providing an improved car-washing portal that, when there are very low temperatures, prevents water and the other washing liquids from freezing, being then able to be used at any time of the day in winder.
  • Another object of the present invention is providing an improved car-washing portal that allows reducing or even doing without the costs due to anti-freeze cleaning interventions.
  • the improved car-washing portal 1 comprises at least one bridge-type structure 3, of the type substantially known in the art, therefore suitable for supporting all common washing fixtures, such as for example the oscillating brushes, that rotate horizontally 5 and vertically 7, and the drying fixtures of known portals, and to contain members and devices for driving, managing, handling and supplying such fixtures, as well as the supplying and delivering ducts or water, soaps and other possible washing liquids.
  • common washing fixtures such as for example the oscillating brushes, that rotate horizontally 5 and vertically 7, and the drying fixtures of known portals, and to contain members and devices for driving, managing, handling and supplying such fixtures, as well as the supplying and delivering ducts or water, soaps and other possible washing liquids.
  • the bridge-type structure 3 therefore defines, as known in the art, at least one front space 9 and at least one rear space 11 through which the passage of at least one vehicle 13 is allowed, for example a car, a van, a truck, etc., unmoving on a washing yard during the washing passes of the portal 1 on such vehicle 15.
  • the improved car-washing portal 1 comprises at least first opening/closing means 15 of such front space 9 and at least second opening/closing means 17 of such rear space 11, so that when the portal 1 is not used, such opening/closing means 15, 17 are in a closing position of such spaces 9, 11 (as shown for example in Figures 1a and 1b ) in order to create a closed environment inside the portal 1 itself and protected from external temperatures, thereby avoiding that, during winter, brushes and other internal devices of the portal 1 get frozen, making it impossible to use this latter one.
  • the portal 1 according to the present invention can perform the washing operations of a possible vehicle 13 in usual and known modes.
  • the first opening/closing means 15 comprise at least one first rolling gate with vertical sliding, such rolling gate being suitably wound, when it is taken in the opening position of the front space 9, in a respective first winding shaft housed inside the architrave of the bridge-type structure 3.
  • the second opening/closing means 17 comprise at least one second rolling gate with vertical sliding, such rolling gate being suitably wound, when taken in the opening position of the rear space 11, in un respective second winding shaft, also housed inside the architrave of the bridge-type structure 3.
  • opening/closing means 15, 17 can be made through any other equivalent device to rolling gates with vertical sliding and suitable for creating the closed and protected environment inside the portal 1 according to the present invention, such as for example rolling gates with horizontal sliding, oscillating doors, curtains with fixed and sliding plastic blades, etc., without therefore departing from the scope of the present invention.
  • the opening/closing means 15, 17, and in particular the rolling gates with vertical sliding are with a motored operation, making therefore the opening and closing operations of the respective spaces 9, 11 automatic.
  • the portal 1 comprises at least one heating device placed inside the closed and protected environment defined by the opening/closing means 15, 17 of the spaces 9, 11, such device being adapted to heat such environment when the opening/closing means 15, 17 are closing such spaces 9, 11 in order to keep the temperature inside the portal 1, and in particular inside such environment, at an adequate value in order to avoid freezing.
  • the portal 1 comprises at least one stirring device of the washing water to avoid that water freezes inside the supply piping: preferably, such stirring device is composed of at least one closed circuit for recirculating water.
  • the portal 1 comprises a plurality of delivering nozzles for an anti-freeze liquid, such as for example salty water, arranged along the bridge-type structure 3 and possibly in a fixed position on the floor in order to avoid that ice forms in the access areas to the washing yard.
  • an anti-freeze liquid such as for example salty water
  • the portal 1 comprises at least one supplying chain contained inside at least one guide made in an environment-insulated box-shaped element so that, under a rest condition, the catenary itself and all piping inside is are protected from the cold.
  • the portal 1 further comprises control and management means cooperating with detecting means for driving the opening and closing of the means 15, 17 and/or the possible operation of the heating device and/or of the stirring device and/or of the delivering nozzles for the anti-freeze liquid.
  • the detecting means comprise at least one temperature sensor or thermostat arranged inside the closed and protected environment defined by the opening/closing means 15, 17 of the spaces 9, 11: in particular, when such sensor or thermostat detects a temperature value that is lower than a preset threshold value, the control and management means drive the closure of the opening/closing means 15, 17 in order to define the protected environment inside the portal 1 and possibly the activation of the heating device and/or of the stirring device and/or of the delivering nozzles for the anti-freeze liquid.
  • the detecting means further comprise at least one device for detecting the presence of a vehicle 13 on the washing yard, such device being composed of detecting risers 19 of a type substantially known in the art: as can be noted as an example in Figures 2 and 3 , therefore when the opening/closing means 15, 17 are closing the spaces 9, 11, if the detecting device detects the presence of the vehicle 13 on the washing yard ( Figure 3 ), the control and management means drive the opening of the opening/closing means 15, 17 in order to allow the passage of the vehicle 13 inside the bridge-type structure 3 through the spaces 9, 11 and the usual washing operation of the portal 1 according to the present invention.
  • the control and management means drive the opening of the opening/closing means 15, 17 in order to allow the passage of the vehicle 13 inside the bridge-type structure 3 through the spaces 9, 11 and the usual washing operation of the portal 1 according to the present invention.
  • the control and management means if the temperature sensor detects this need, again drive the closure of the opening/closing means 15, 17 in order to define the protected environment inside the portal 1 and possibly the activation of the heating device and/or of the stirring device and/or of the delivering nozzles del anti-freeze liquid.
  • the portal 1 can further comprise suitable signaling means adapted to communicate, to a user of the portal 1, the operating conditions of the portal 1 itself: in particular, such signaling means can comprise at least one street-lamp type of device 21 with green light and red light: for example, when the portal 1 is in a standby condition with the opening/closing means 15, 17 in their closing position of the spaces 9, 11, the street-lamp device 21 can turn the green light on in order to signal that the portal 1 is available and correctly operating.
  • signaling means can comprise at least one street-lamp type of device 21 with green light and red light: for example, when the portal 1 is in a standby condition with the opening/closing means 15, 17 in their closing position of the spaces 9, 11, the street-lamp device 21 can turn the green light on in order to signal that the portal 1 is available and correctly operating.
  • the street-lamp device 21 When a vehicle 13 arrives in front of the portal 1 and the detecting device detects its presence, the street-lamp device 21 turns the red light on and the opening/closing means 15, 17 open the spaces 9, 11: when the opening/closing means 15, 17 are completely open, the street-lamp device 21 turns the green light on in order to signal the user that he can advance with his vehicle 13 till at least one placing device signals the correct placement of the vehicle 13 onto the washing yard with respect to the portal 1: at that time the user can set the desired washing program through a driving and activation console of a type substantially known in the art.
